- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Mirren FC that had 298 games and scored 292 goals.

- 32' The supporters are chanting for Ryan Mullen. He replaces Shamal George on 32 minute.
